Had appointment at breast clinic today

I completely agree with this and feel in a very similar situation. My MDT meeting is Monday, and they have said results mon,tue or wed.
I also am dealing with this very practically and im prepared for the worst and every other outcome in between!
My husband, friends and all my family have also took the same route as yours, trying to tell me everything will be fine. I know they are trying to soothe me, but its actually annoying me :rofl: as it is unrealistic to say that, and i feel like if i get the worst news im going to be ready for it and ready to face it and everyone around me will crumble when i need them most. I understand your frustration completely!

Have you got any plans this weekend? Ive tried diving into a series and couldnt focus. Ive found a cross stitch and lots of dog walks has been the only two things that have really given my mind a rest :heart: i hope you can find something to keep you busy xxx

Hi Newhere30

I totally understand everything you are saying, I sometimes want someone to say, it could be cancer and they will offer this or that. That would be more helpful incase the consultant on Monday say hey it is cancer. I’d rather be prepared for both situations, but I feel all my friends and family will break and offer me advice when I am actually in a whirlwind of emotions.

Did you have any microcalcifications or what is your story? Sorry if it already on the thread, I haven’t read them all.

I started watching Inventing Anna on Netflix again and then stopped. I am now watching Dynasty…I know it’s very cheesy but the glitz and glamour are making the anxiety a little less…

Love to you all xx

I love Dynasty! Such a good show to binge watch as cheesy as it is haha!

Im 30yo, i got married in April and have a 6yo son and a fulltime job so im a busy bee with life! Ive never even thought to check my breasts until my friend found what she thought was a lump (was just breast tissue after scan) nd i thought oh maybe i should check!

As soon as i touched right breast i felt a small hard lump it felt pointy almost and it didnt move. My stomach dropped and i felt like i just knew it wasnt right.

Went to my GP who said the good old saying ā€œoh it will just be a cyst but because of BC in your family history we will send you to breast clinicā€.

I was seen at clinic, had an ultrasound and 3 biopsies taken from the lump. They showed me the scans and the consiltant explained that it looks mostly like a fibroadenoma, then he pointed to the bottom right corner and it had almost like a little iceberg sticking out and that was grey and smudged and he was that is the part we are concerned about.

I am on the agenda for MDT monday and they said should have results by Wednesday latest. Ive been waiting 2 weeks on Monday since biopsies. Just need to know now! The wait is killing me xxxxx

Morning
I wish you all the best and I hope you get the results soon.

I aspire to be Falon from Dynasty, not the nasty side, but the side that shows no fear and going for what you want. I do love the glitz and glam lol

I am 47, single mother to an 18 year old. I work in a primary school, working with children with special needs. I had a career change 13 years ago due to health issues. What do I not have…I had a hysterectomy in 2018 then everything spiralled…I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2019, then fibromyalgia in 2021. Health has been a nightmare since then.

The biopsy site is very sore atm and I can feel a lump. I was freaking out yesterday as I was in a lot of discomfort, but today I will focus on cleaning the clutter from my flat and having a day to reorganise my life.

Weirdly, not one of my friends has offered me any support for tomorrow. Only you and the other lovely lady who responded on here. I am grateful I found this place as reading everyone’s plight, I am not so alone.

Have a lovely day.

Gosh you have really been through the ringer :frowning: im sorry that all of this has happened to you.

It is sad that noone has offered support, but yoi are right there is lots of support here and i will be extra vigilant checking my notifications on here tomorrow incase you need me :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I took paracetamol and ibuprofen for the soreness after biopsy have you tried that? If so and its still bad, keep a close eye on it and id say get it checked if it persists as it could possibly be infected.

I love Falon! But she goes abit soft further down the line and started to annoy me haha!

Hey there

Have you watched it all? I finished the last episode and it was a little rushed I think. Her clothes and hair…omg…if only life was so simple lol

I have calm most of the day and now that evening is here my mind is wandering off.

I am thinking if anyone has been in a similar situation to me? Am I being silly for being both positive and negative about tomorrow?

I remember on one of the forums that they said it was good to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. If that makes sense.

I think regardless, being in the waiting period for results is awful and exhausting as you’re trying to come up with every possible scenario. Watch a bit more of Netflix to distract yourself, I’ve just binged 1922, fab scenery, gripping storylines and Spencer easy on the eye! Also love a bit of Below Deck. But seriously I hope you gets some peace and rest tonight, what time is your appointment?

I think you are right to stay positive whilst being realistic. You dont know what awaits you tomorrow so allowing your psyche to prepare for all outcomes is probably the healthiest way to be :heart: xxx

How did today go? Had everything crossed for you xxx

Hey there

The consultant said biopsy was benign, but he didnt listen to any of my concerns. My 1st mammogram report on 27th june stated the microcalcification is roughly 13mn and 5cm above nipple.

On my recall mammogram the doctor who looked it at said its roughly 20mm and from last years mammogram it was only 3 specks.

Today the consultant told me I had a lot of bleeding during vacumn biopsy, and the images shown were of last year where there were only 3 specks and no cluster.

I told him I can feel a lump and he didn’t check or anything. I left in tears as I don’t think he listened.

Am i right in feeling something is not right?.

Im so sorry that you have been left in such an emotional state :broken_heart: that sounds awful!

Can you call and ask to speak to a different consultant? Or a breast care nurse to explain your concerns? Xxx
